This is contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by Mr Yomi Odunuga, Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).

According to the memo, Mr Taiwo Oyedele has been appointed as the new Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy.

It also named Dr Muttaqha Darma as Minister-designate for Housing and Urban Development.

The statement directed the outgoing ministers to commence immediate handover processes to their successors or designated supervising officials.

It added that all handover and takeover activities must be concluded on or before the close of business on Thursday, April 23, 2026.

The reshuffle is part of ongoing efforts by the administration to strengthen governance and improve service delivery across key sectors of the economy.
